Mediation and Children's Reading
This collection of essays explores the cultural significance of children’s reading by analyzing a series of Anglo-American case studies from the eighteenth century to the present. Marked by historical continuity and technological change, children’s reading proves to be a phenomenon with broad influence, one that shapes both the development of individual readers and wider social values. The essays in this volume capture such complexity by invoking the conception of “mediation” to approach children’s reading as a site of interaction among individual people, material texts, and institutional networks. Featuring a range of scholarly perspectives from the disciplines of literature, education, graphic design, and library and information science, this collection uncovers both the intricacies and wider stakes of children’s reading. The books, public programs, and archives that focus explicitly on children’s interests and needs are powerful arenas that give expression to the key ideological investments of a culture.

The Fictional Role of Childhood in Victorian and Early Twentieth Century Children's Literature
This book studies canonical children's literature during what is perceived to be the first Golden Age of this genre. Building upon critical studies, such as Jacqueline Rose's The Case of Peter Pan, the instability at the heart of children's literature is examined. The notion that children's fiction promotes a discursive innocence is resisted by analyzing texts written specifically for a child readership. Textual tensions and desires inscribed from adult culture's penmanship, and the subversion of childhood's mythopoeic status are unveiled through critical analysis, highlighting the complex imbalance between adult narrator and child character. Just as childhood and its connotations of innocence are a cultural adult production, so must children's fiction incorporate an element of adult masquerade, where the child character embodies a performative dimension of the adult narrator's psyche. A critical metaphor, 'textual pedophilia' encapsulates the literary and discursive desire for innocence ruptured by the adult palimpsest of a postlapsarian authorial presence. The title refers to the imaginative preoccupations of childhood as transfixed by a performative adult creativity hiding behin
